Body mass index - Table I

To use the table, find the appropriate height in the left-hand column labeled "Height". Move across to a given weight in pounds. The number at the top of the column is the BMI for that height and weight. If you know your height in cm and you want to turn it to inches, you have to multiply by 0.39. If you know your weight in kilos, multiply by 2.20, in order to turn it to pounds. Bear in mind that all the final figures must be rounded off.
